I do think Aaron Judge is not getting the credit he deserves because of Bonds.
If you eliminate Bonds, the last time any player in baseball had an OPS+ over 200 was in 1994, when both Bagwell and Frank Thomas did it, EXCEPT that was a strike shortened season. Bagwell played 110 games and Thomas 113.
Judge has now had an OPS+ over 200 in three different seasons. You have to go all the way back to Mantle and Ted Williams to find another player other than Bonds to have done that.
